You can not hasten the development OF the
little life germ in the acorn any more than
you could a hundred years ago. Corn and

He Raked IN the Pot.

Eastman (Ga.) Times: The largest polk
er game ever played in this section of the
country was played in this city the other
night. 1t comes straight that the party
consisted of two Georgians and two North
erners and began with 800 in the jack
pot. This finally grew to $4,000, when
when one of the Georgians withdrew, the
stakes becoming too rich for his blood.
The remaining Georgian then drew one
card, one Northerner two cards, and the
other one card.
The Georgian, who had played a re
markable game Of bluff on bobtail flush,
raised the jack pot to the tempting pile
of $4,000 and called. Everything was as
still as death and the hair Of a few specta-
tors stood on end. The Georgian showed
a straight flush and raked in the pot.
The gentleman who won the pile is a
resident Of Eastman, and has been exten-
sively congratulated by his friends who
have been let into the secret.

Mounted Militia.

Washington special: Governor Church
Of Dakota has determined to organize two
companies of mounted militia among the
settlers in the Turtle Mountain region.
He says: 1.-THE events of the present year
have opened the eyes Of the people Of
Rolette and surrounding counties to the
necessity Of more adequate protection
from the half-breeds and from Indian in
vasion from the north. The Indians are
quiet now, but may break out at any
time, and the people ought to be prepared
for them. There are no mounted militia
at the present time, and two or three
troops would prove very effective in set
Ting Indian troubles, especially in case
of inyaslon."

Great Work.

Devils Lake Oak, special: Nothing IN
railroad building heretofore i'll the north
west has approached the rapidity and
army-like system with which the Mantle
ba company is sending forward material
for the construction of the Montana line.
For the past three months there has gone
through this place daily, on an average.
175 cars laden with all kinds Of construc-
ton material. At Minot, the present ter
minus of the track, 131 miles west Of Dey-
lis Lake, the company has laid something
like ten miles Of sidings to receive this
material, and along both sides Of these
numerous tracks are piled great quaint
ties of ties. bridge material, piling and
thousands Of the best duality OF steel rails.
Said an old railroad contractor after visit
ing Minot: at is worth a days travel to
see these mountains of costly MATERIAL
And still it goes forward III increasing
quantities. For the past twenty-four
hours the trains have averaged Il in eF-
cry two hours. And it is estimated that
it will require two hundred cars daily the
entire summer OF this material to be sent
forward that there may be nc delay n the
building of this great line of road All
engines do not wait at the terminus for
the unloading of trains, but hasten back
for more cars and it is not an uncommon
sight to see ten Of these monster iron
horses on their return with a single ca
boose car attached to each, speeding along
the track only Il few hundred yards apart.
In all this gigantic work there is no con
fusion, not an accident Of any kind has
occurred, and all material is separated and
placed where it can be reloaded at the
minimum cost. The roadbed for a hun
dred miles west of Minot is ready for the
rails and all bridges Zone of which is
800 feet long, and water tanks are com
pleted for a distance of thirty-tfve miles
beyond that point. Several engineer corps
are already in the field many miles in ad-
vance of last years work making ready
for the army Of over $4,000 graders that
will soon follow.

A Charge Disproved.

Washington special: Last winter it was
stated that the wives of two army officers
went to a musicale at the British minis
ter's unlimited, causing a good deal Of
scandal. It is now stated that Mrs. Sheri-
dan, the wife of the lieutenant general,
wrote to Miss West asking the names of
the ladies. Miss West declined to reveal
them. Finally Mrs. Sheridan addressed a
letter to Miss West begging the ladies'
names, and saying that as the wife of the
general of the army and the social head Of
army society in Washington, she thought
she was entitled to the information. Miss
West reluctantly gave the names and Mrs.
Sheridan took the army register and hunt
ed the officers rooster to identify the of
Tenders. Her search was in vain, and she
sent the register to Miss West with a i note
vindicating the wives of army officers
from any such charges Of impertinence
and i'll breeding as the story toll by the
mistress of the legation implied.
